Hero's Journey (Monomyth) and Story Structure: MULTIPLE CHARACTER TRANSFORMATIONS

Often writers concentrate on the Hero's Transformation and forget to manage the Transformation of other critical characters. The most common critical characters and associated transformations include:

The Romantic Challenge: initially the Hero and Romantic Challenge are polarized and incrementally come together until the Union, post the Seizing of the Sword.

The Supernatural Aid: Mentors often have Challenges of their own; just as the Journey provides the Hero with a capacity that was previously lacking, so the same is true for the Supernatural Aid.

The Shape Shifter: motivations and attitudes gradually move the Shape Shifter from one side to the other.

Doves: those against the Journey / Transformation tend to come round (the converse is true for antihero stories).
